The Most Challenged God's Calling: Miracle & Prosperity Ministry by akintoso1(m): 8:09pm On Oct 18, 2006
Why is it that it is only two ministerial offices of God ie MIRACLE PREACHER & PROSPERITY PREACHERS that are always been criticised?

The point is , "when you need one ,you will believe"

So keep talking base on your level and growth in Christianity, oneday you will mature and leave childish thoughts.

Remember, God is not man! These things are all matter of time.Time will surely tell and we shall see the house that will eventually stand.

Because the bible warns us against both types of preaching. This is why people are against these type of things.

Bible Verses: Paraphrases

Using Christians as merchandise.
Preach for their own Financial Gain.
Some think being Godly is for Financial Gain, stay away from them.
Are amongst you to feed themselves.
The wicked prosper.


The Anti Christ will do signs and wonders.

Also:

People are most against Gay ministries, Women Preachers, Catholics seem the most hated in America, Talking about following the Law, etc.

So it is kinda of misleading to say that people are most against miracle and prosperity preaching. It has a way of distorting what is going on, as if the devil is after those two ministries only.

It's the kind of mind misleading that prosperity gospel preachers use.

The most challeneged (and challenging) ministries of God's calling are NOT 'miracles and propsperity'. Anyone can preach those - and that is what has become popular today in many quarters.

However, rather than look at the popular and present them as the most challenged, talk about the ministry of the Cross:

"For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." (1 Cor. 1:17-18).

Galatians 5:11 yet makes it clear that the preaching of the Cross is is the one thing that exposed its ministers to "suffer persecution" (see also Gal. 6:12 & 14).

May I add that a careful study of the subject leads to the inference that a ministry that concentrates on feeding the stomach makes their belly 'their god' - setting the mind and affections of earthly things rather than on heavenly (as it is not astonishing that there are 'many' who walk according to that rule):

"For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things" (Phil. 3:18 & 19).

The ministry of the Cross is more challenging that the ministry of 'miracles and prosperity'. Think of the goal of each one of these minsitries, and the case becomes clear enough.
